The dovetail is easier to do, and that is why it is the choice. The superiority of the dovetail is Urban myth, only made true by poor technique and lack of skilled workmen in the modern age. If my 10MM Deltas (two of them) won't work a tenon loose in thousands of rounds, I think it will last in anything else 1911. ("Armory tools" are pretty poor, but worked with small GI sights.) The secret to doing any tenon slide correctly is to taking a Dremel or Foredom Tool and cutting a small hemisphere under the tenon hole, giving a place to form the "rivet" into, and preferably using a Miniture Machine or Trijicon staking tool that swages the hole full of metal using a shearing motion. Dovetails are ancient technology, but currently in style in the 1911 world - and they will move if something hits them - unless you spend more and have them pinned in place, too. Retro - means retro - the way they did it. Browning was well familiar with both methods - and deliberately chose the tenon for a hard use military weapon.
PROPERLY DONE a 1911 staked front sight will NEVER come off - and a dovetailed sight can always move, without telling you it has done so.
